The speedy wide receiver was a four-year standout at the University of Georgia, and seems like a sure bet to be taken this week at the NFL Draft, especially after his breakout performance at the Scouting Combine. But he didn't just spend his time in the SEC catching passes – he also decided to write and direct a Star Wars fan film called Retribution, which, at the time of this writing, is approaching a half-a-million views on YouTube.

Thought this was really cool, especially considering reports about all of these prospects with domestic abuse allegations, drug arrests and DUIs and so on.

As a video producer and Star Wars nerd, I just find this really awesome

I'm not a Star Wars fan, but that is really cool for college kids to produce.

Takes a ton of effort and creativity on his part. Very admirable he could do it while in college

He must have had some good co-conspirators in putting all of that together. The production values were quite good for a "home movie" type of video.

Yeah, in the interview Conley mentioned how good he was at making connections. Shows a lot of initiative and professional quality on his part to be able to put something like that together.

People in college have a ton of free time

Free time or not. Creating videos or films is extremely hard work and takes a lot of time and dedication and planning. I admire someone so young who can do that
